阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

Unlike many other exchange students, my school focused on arts such as singing, acting, dancing, and many other talents, so there wasn't much room for sports. Honestly, in the beginning. I was a little sad because I wanted to participate in basketball. However, I did not let that disappoint me. After a while, I took a pause for some self-reflection. I remembered how much I like to sing even though I don't think I'm good at it. I then thought to myself, "why not be the one to try acting?"

After my first week, I loved the school! My art classes feel like a break from reality and the scenery at my school makes me feel as though I am in some talent-based American high school movie. Every morning, we are welcomed with the beautiful voices from my teachers. At lunch, we are entertained with musical performances by any student who wishes to sing.

During my second week of school, I was required to perform my first five-minute play with my class partner. I was a bit nervous, but I gathered courage and did it. By chance, a staff person from the school office saw my performance. After school, on my way to the bus, she  called me and informed me she had recommended me and some other students to participate in an upcoming two-day workshop. I first thought she was teasing me. When I got home, I found out she'd also sent an email to my host mom.

My host mom is very busy, but she planned her schedule around the activity. My mom picked me up from school and drove me to the workshop which was an hour from my school. After the workshop. We were presented with tickets to watch the play the following day. After the show, I met with the actors, thanked and congratulated them. On our way home, I was smiling so much that my cheeks hurt. I appreciate my host family and school for giving me this experience.

24．How did the author overcome her displeasure? 

A．By playing basketball. B．By taking a rest.

C．By finding her talent. D．By changing her hobby.

25．What can we learn from the second paragraph? 

A．The school is quite different from her former one.

B．Every day in the school is simply attractive.

C．She does nothing but sing at the new school.

D．The school's beautiful scenery appeals to her.

26．How does the author feel on hearing the words of a staff person? 

A．She was too excited to speak a word.

B．She just couldn't believe her ears.

C．She was proud of her performance.

D．She felt kind of scared and nervous.

27．What kind of person is her host mom?

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

In the United States, people often use large amounts of salt to remove dangerous ice from roads and walkways in the winter. But when the spring arrives, all that salt can really damage plants in the garden. Salt is the chemical sodium chloride.

Salt pulls water from living cells, like plant roots and the healthy ground soil around them. So, spring growth may show up lighter in color than normal, or, in the worst cases, plants may simply die. Rain can wash away much of the salt, permitting some older plants to live. Salt can also be removed by pouring a large amount of water on the ground where plants are growing. But the best action is to simply use less salt.

There are. of course, other things that can be used to cover for sodium chloride. One is the chemical calcium chloride, which does less damage to plants and melts ice faster than salt. It also works when the temperature is below negative 17 degrees Celsius. Salt loses some of its effectiveness at temperatures below negative 12 degrees.

Still, calcium chloride does put chloride ion（氯离子）, which plants don＇t like, into the soil. It is also more expensive and can do more damage to cars. Calcium magnesium acetate, also called CMA, has become a popular alternative. It is made by combining limestone, a type of rock. and vinegar. It breaks down naturally so it does not damage plants or soil. It stays on roads and does not hurt cars.

CMA does have problems, however. It is most effective at around negative 9 Celsius, just like salt. And it is better at stopping ice from forming rather than removing it. So, it is best placed on a road before the temperature gets very cold. Some materials other than salt-such as sand or very small pieces of wood- can also work against ice. But they can be very messy.

28．What is the poor result by using salt to remove ice? 

A．All the plants are likely to disappear overnight.

B．The plants may well look much weaker than ever.

C．Some older plants can't resist being washed away.

D．A large amount of water is trapped on the roads.

29．What does the underlined part mean in the 3rd paragraph? 

A．Remove. B．Wrap. C．Collect. D．Replace.

30．What is the advantage of calcium chloride? 

A．It functions well at cold temperatures.

B．It provides chloride ion to the soil.

C．It can melt ice just above minus 17'℃.

D．It brings no damage to plants or soil.

31．The author wants to show         .

A．many materials can be used to remove ic

B．using less salt is beneficial to your plants

C．sand and pieces of wood are eco-friendly

D．too much salt is used on the roads in the USA

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

Have you been exercising and eating clean, but when you step on the scale, it says you've gained a few pounds? "That's normal, and it doesn't mean that your workouts are not effective, "says Jeffrey A. Dolgan, an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach, Florida.

"A person's scale mass is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, blood, and even the air that we carry in our lungs, "he says."Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 percent. "So if you're gaining weight while working out and eating healthy, it's probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is.

The scale can't tell you how much of your body weight is muscle or fat, which means if your goal is to improve your fitness level, the scale is not the best tool for measuring improvements. When you start to change your body composition with your workouts-by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat-your scale weight may increase, while your body fat percentage may decrease. These changes happen over weeks and months (not hours or days) so the scale is useless when tracking them.

You may argue that you weigh a few pounds less after a high intensity（强度）training class. Don't get too excited-it's just water loss due to sweat. Water makes up approximately 65 to 90 percent of a person's weight, and variation in water content of the human body can move the scale by ten pounds or more from day to day.

So ignore the scale and pay more attention to objective measurement tools like body composition. Keep in mind that if you're exercising but gaining weight, you may actually look slimmer.

32．What can we know from Dolgan's  words? 

A．Your weight changes little during a day.

B．Your scale mass is affected by many factors.

C．Your workout is not effective if you gain weight.

D．Your weight is determined only by muscle and fat.

33．What will most probably happen after you exercise and eat healthy for 3 months? 

A．You will weigh less. B．Your muscle mass will decrease.

C．Your body fat will increase. D．Your body composition will change.

34．How much water may a man weighing 150 pounds have in his body? 

A．30 pounds. B．60 pounds. C．100 pounds. D．140 pounds.

35．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? 

A．Why do we gain weight?

B．How to work out effectively?

C．What is the composition of our body?

D．Why does my workout cause weight gain?

Parents are the people whom love us most in our daily life. Therefore, it's necessary to keep a good relationship with them. Here were my ideas on how to make it easier communicate with parents.

First, we should respect and trust our parent. Don't be rude to them even if they have done something wrongly. They have experienced more and are always tried their best to protect us for danger. Second, if we often talk with them about our life and experiences, and we will know each other better. What's more, we can often tell us parents how much we love them. Sometimes we don't agree with our parents' decisions. We should try to put ourselves into their shoes. We will soon understand them. Remembering what they really want is only the best for us.
